To replace the oil in the rear differential, lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift or suitable axle stands to gain comfortable access to the differential casing. After positioning a container to collect the used oil, unscrew the oil drain plug located directly under the differential and wait for it to completely drain; clean the magnetic part of the plug to remove any debris and screw it back in; then unscrew the filling plug located at the front and fill the differential with the specific oil: the level is reached as soon as oil begins to overflow.
